Hymn 103: The King of love my Shepherd

Verse 1

The King of love my Shepherd 

is,

Whose goodness faileth never,

I nothing lack if I am His,

And He is mine for ever.


Verse 2

Where streams of living water flow

My ransomed soul He leadeth,

And where the verdant pastures grow,

With food celestial feedeth.


Verse 3

Perverse and foolish of I stayed, 

But yet in love, He sought me,

And on His shoulder gently laid,

And home rejoicing brought me.


Verse 4

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill

With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,

Thy cross before to guide me.


Verse 5 

Thou, before me a table set;

Thou, my head was annionted;

Oh! What great joy that flow from Thee,

To me, my comfort ever.


Verse 6

And so through all the length of days 

Thy goodness faileth never;

Good Shepherd, may I Sing Thy praise

Within Thy house for ever.

Henry W. Baker
